Joe Back
Hi! Thanks for visiting the channel, my name is Joe. Here, I offer a unique perspective on the Bible, Israel and the Jewish experience. I do this by exploring: ancient cultures, animals, archaeology, Biblical commentaries, food, history, Jewish law, the land of Israel, the origin of Jewish customs, religion, Talmud, theology, and much more. I make an effort to make these videos concise, easy to understand, educational, entertaining, and strive to show that the bible and academia can coexist. I started this channel to share my passion and expertise on the aforementioned topics. I am a licensed tour guide for the State of Israel, have a MA in Archaeology and Land of Israel Studies, and possess rabbinic ordination.
Feel free to connect with me via social media. I will try to add new material on a weekly basis. If you like what you see, make sure to like, subscribe, and become a patron. For speaking engagements and tours please contact me via email. Thanks, and have a wonderful day!
